 On the 27th of February, 1883, I was taken with violent pain in the region of the kid neys. I suffered such agony that I could hardly stand up. As soon as os,ible ap- piled two Allcock's Porous Plasters, one over each kidney, and laid down. In an hour, to my surprise and delight, the pain had van- ished and was we'll. wore the plasters for a day or two as precaution, and then Porous Plasters in my family for the last ten years, and have always found them the quickest and best external remedy for colds, strains and rheumatic affections. From my experience believe they are the best p1asters in the world HENRY c. NELSON

Another joyful occasion was that at the Wooster Place Baptist church Wednesday. IC was Christmas occasion for the children of the Sabbath school and there were many gifts. A feature of the affair was the benefit for the poor. Eyeryb body brought something to be cast into a common collection for the poor even to the widows mite. The collec- tion when completed amounted to large one and included host of things useful in the family either in food or clothing, while the cash donation was considerable. The be- stowal of these gifts was very pleasant duty and many heart was made glad. Said a gentleman yesterday:'T T see that this holiday season it is quite popular in the churches to get collections in this way for the poor. l think it splendid idea. By this method a great deal can be collected in very simple and easy manner without taxing anyone and the aggregation where there are so many givers makes Q grand thing for poor families. And then in g church organization these donations can be put just where they and the recipients do not feel that they are objects of charity, but rather that they are remembered by their brethren and sisters in the Lord, for in Christ all mankind are brothers and sisters. I was much pleased with the idea so well conveyed under the guise of joke in the funny column of the COURIER the other day. It suggested what must be the idea of the heathen, to see Chris tian nations spending millions in guns and pistols and sabres, and to hear that the gun factories are driven with orders, and whyi Just in order that Christians can kill their fellow men. I believe that Christianity means that all men are brethren and as such should love one another"

He was appointed pastor by the general conference which met au Hartford twenty-three years ago, and received his ap- peintment from Bishop Simpson. That was during the war when four was SIS barrel and cotton cloth 50 cents yard, cotton thread 25 cents a spool. He related his hard experience with the world and how he labored for his small salary. The place of meeting was then in Browns hall, now owned by J. T. Coogan. During the three years of his pastorate it was voted by the general conference that this post should be abolished, but the women of the church raised money enough to pay his small salary. Finally he succeeded in raising in six months $4, ,5O0 and it was voted to build church, which was done.

Among those who celebrated Chr;a+r,os
oy drinking more than was good for them
was hl'se Dulong, a miner, who worked at
Cne Nettie mine, at BURLINGTON. After
christmas he vas not inclined to 20 hack
TO work, and this caused domestic trouble.
as his wife was very anxious that he should
not idle any longer, and told him 30. Dulonp
remarked to one OF his associates that be
was id if he would be bossed by a
woman, and told another that he was
going to leave his family. His wife knew
OF his threats, but did not believe he would
carry them out and leave her and their
SIX children to battle with the world. Yes.
terday, shortly after noon, he startled the
entire community by the sudden and thor
ough manner in which he carried out his
intention OF leaving the family. There
was in the house q small bottle
OF strychnine hat had originally
contained One-eighth of an ounce. Dulong
poured the contents into a glass which had
q little water in it, and in spite of the ef-
iorts OF his wife to prevent him, swallowed
the deadly mixture. DR.. Hammond was
Immediately sent for, but Dulong was dead
within ten minutes after taking the dose.
The doctor examined the glass after arriv-
ing at the house n found enough undis-
solved crystals of strychnine sticking ia the
sides OF the glass to pyison ten men. DR..
Amsden afterwards held an inquest over
the remains, and q verdict wal returned in
accordance with the above.
